  1. WHERE WE WORK CONTACT US Ya'axché operates within an area known as the Maya Golden Landscape (MGL) in southern Belize. It is centered around the Golden Stream watershed and the Golden Stream Corridor Preserve (GSCP). Both GSCP and the 100,000 acre Bladen Nature Reserve, located in the north of MGL are managed by Ya'axché. The MGL forms the primary southern biological corridor for Belize, which is the only remaining broadleaf forest link between the Maya Mountains and the forested coastal plains of southern Belize.

  2. WORKING WITH THE COMMUNITIES MANAGING PROTECTED AREAS RANGER FOR A DAY Calling all naturalists, eco-tourists and adventurers! If you are looking for an unparalleled experience of the Belizean jungle alongside a local Mayan ranger, then consider joining our rangers for a Day patrol, you will join an official Ya'axché patrol of the 15,000-acre Golden Stream Corridor Preserve. Your boots will get muddy and you should prepare to get sweaty but after a morning of adventure, you are invited to enjoy a refreshing dip in the Golden Stream River, the lifeblood of the Golden Stream Corridor Preserve. Contact us for further information and booking! The Ya’axché Community Outreach and Livelihoods program aims to assist the local communities in the Maya Golden Landscape to improve their standard of living while maintaining the pristine environment of the area. The program achieves this through promotion of sustainable agriculture and enterprise initiatives, environmental education and outreach, and fostering strong governance throughout the local communities. Community support is necessary for successful management of protected areas! Ya’axché is managing Golden Stream Corridor Preserve and Bladen Nature Reserve, the latter regarded as the crown jewel of protected areas in Belize. Ya'axché is represented by a team of highly skilled rangers  who  patrol these areas for illegal activities whilst collecting biological monitoring  data  and  assisting visiting researchers on a variety of projects. Ya'axché strives to maintain a strong and open relationship with the communities surrounding Golden Stream Corridor Preserve and Bladen Nature Reserve – for the benefit of all! School trips are regularly arranged to Bladen Nature Reserve and other protected areas as a part of our environmental education. Photo: Erik Hammar.
